Let's call voucher bill what it should be termed

Anytime Pa. Senate Bill 1 is called a school “voucher” bill it only serves to obfuscate its true purpose.

Have you ever seen legislation called the “white paper check bill”? Of course not.

Let’s call it what it is, the “Private and Parochial School Public Funding Act.” Where are all of the letter writers who flood the paper with complaints any time a tax increase is proposed to fund public education?

Why don’t the people who constantly whine about “being run out of their homes by taxes” realize their tax money will be massively diverted from the public schools for private and secular religious education, a purpose specifically banned in the state Constitution?

We constantly hear the refrain, “at least Tom Corbett is doing what he said he would do.” How many readers of this newspaper voted for him expecting a costly public bailout of the parochial schools?
